Patricia Polacco takes on cliques and online bullying

Lyla finds a great friend in Jamie on her first day of school, but when Lyla makes the cheerleading squad and a clique of popular girls invites her to join them, Jamie is left behind. Lyla knows bullying when she sees it, though, and when she sees the girls viciously teasing classmates on Facebook, including Jamie, she is smart enough to get out. But no one dumps these girls, and now they're out for revenge.

Patricia Polacco has taken up the cause against bullies ever since Thank You, Mr. Falker, and her passion shines through in this powerful story of a girl who stands up for a friend.

I really loved the book “Bully” so much! It has a lot to say about bullying and why they do it. This book made me emotional because I hate when people bully. For example, I was angry when Gage was “scum dumping” her classmates. I also did not like it when Lyla’s classmates cyberbullied her by calling her names like “Lying Lyla.” My favourite character was Jamie who was Lyla's best friend. My favourite part was when Gage got caught at the end! I would recommend reading it!

This book was all about including others. Layla and Jamie were best friends, but then, Layla started cheer and got so carried away with her new friends and left Jamie behind. Her new friends started making fun of Jamie and made Layla sad. Would she go back to Jamie or be a bully for good and leave him? Read to find out!

THIS book is great I recommend it to every one because is a book about bullies and it teaches you about what will happen and itS A AWESOME BOOK !!!!!!
